Tokage, a soul cursed to forever wander the world, unable to rest nor to join the reincarnation cycle, is now looking for its release.

This time Tokage enters the body of a newly dead girl named Yuuka, a shrine maiden. This body requires continual recharging from a highly spiritual person, whom the dead person must have had an attachment to. This person is Shinobu, a younger boy, who also lives in that shrine.

Thus starts the adventures of Tokage and Shinobu in a world gone mad, amidst the chaos and carnage that gravitates to an unsent soul draw.

the beginning is quite jumbled up as things kept happening one another and characters are introduced successively without any real resolution. you are hoping for something to happen, but the characters just come and go without making big impact, making you puzzled about their use in the plot. however, at the end of the manga you can see through the interactions little clues were revealed for us to understand the relationship of the principal characters. not that it is any surprise to any as that kind of progression is standard for most story. though what most people hoping for the mcs do not come to fruition.

a big plus is the art. the body proportion is rendered very beautifully and sexily, i cant believe this is shoujo not shounen or seinen. there are not much background as there are more closeups so sometimes it can be disorienting.

I so love this! The plot, the drawing, the characters. Everything. Especially the girl, oh she is hot. There's an edge to it, but it's short (which is disappointing). I would have liked to read more about how they live from then on and what happened to their relationship, etc. ^^

I had trouble getting into this at first, because the maga seemed a little confusing. But as I got further into it, the story came together for me and I really got interested in the characters and in the story.

I liked the ending: it didn't try to answer all the questions or solve all the issues, but it did resolve some important matters and it left the main characters in a position to get on with the rest of their lives. To me, that's a pretty good way for a story to end.

Also, there were a couple of nice surprise twists near the end of the series: to me, they were totally unexpected and caught me completely by surprise, yet they made sense and fitted in perfectly with what had gone on previously in the story.
